Metabolic homeostasis refers to the maintenance of a stable internal environment within an organism in terms of energy production, utilization, and storage. It involves a complex network of biochemical reactions that regulate the levels of nutrients, hormones, and other molecules to ensure proper functioning of cells and tissues. Research in this area aims to understand the mechanisms that control metabolism and how disruptions to these pathways can lead to various diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. Scientists study the regulation of metabolic processes, such as glucose and lipid metabolism, in order to develop targeted interventions and therapies to maintain metabolic balance and prevent metabolic disorders.
